[Nautilus-list] A Couple of Ideas

["Christopher D. Felton" <newmojo home com>]

The icons for text files previews the text inside in the icon views in
Nautilus.  However, currently you do not know if that text icon is for a
.txt file, an abiword document, etc...  I was wondering if anyone
thought it would be a good idea to use the emblem abilities of nautilus
to distingush what kind of document it is.  So say you have a abiword
.abw file.  It previews the text inside (currently previews as XML since
there is not a abiword plugin for Nautilus yet.) then it automatically
places a smaller than normal abiword emblem in the lower right hand
corner of the icon.  The same could be done with a Starwriter icon, or a
gnumeric icon.
